Results: Latent profile analysis of
maternal feeding practices showed 4 feeding profiles based on maternal use of limit - setting practices and keeping snacks out of girls» physical reach, a restrictive practice: Unlimited Access to Snacks, Sets Limits + Does Not Restrict Snacks, Sets Limits + Restricts High Fat / Sugar Snacks, and Sets Limits + Restricts All Snacks.
This study aimed to identify and describe distinct profiles of
maternal feeding practices used to limit daughters» snack intake by using latent profile analysis (LPA) 5.
Two analyses were conducted, with
maternal feeding practices (pressure to eat, restriction, monitoring and healthy modelling) as the independent variables in one analysis, and child eating behaviours (food responsiveness, food fussiness and interest in food) in the other.
One hundred and fifty - six mothers of 2 - to 4 - year - old children completed questionnaires including measures of
maternal feeding practices (pressure to eat, restriction, monitoring and modelling of healthy eating), child eating behaviour (food responsiveness, food fussiness and interest in food), and mother reported child height and weight.
We hypothesised that the use of
maternal feeding practices with 2 - to 4 - year - old children would prospectively predict child eating behaviours and child BMI over 12 months.
BMI z - score at T2 was not significantly predicted by T1
maternal feeding practices (R 2 Change =.01, p =.857), or by T1 child eating behaviours (R 2 Change =.01, p =.707) after controlling for maternal and child covariates, and T1 BMIz.
If the T1 feeding practices were significant predictors of T2 eating behaviour after taking into account the effect of prior (T1) eating behaviour, this would indicate support for the hypothesis that
maternal feeding practices predict the development of particular child eating behaviours.
Mean (s.d.) scores and bivariate correlations for time 1 and time 2
maternal feeding practices and child eating behaviour (N = 156)
The combined
maternal feeding practices variables entered at step 2 significantly added to prediction of the model, explaining 13 % of the variance.
Regression analyses were used to find longitudinal associations between
maternal feeding practices, child eating behaviour and child body mass index (BMI).
Maternal feeding practices become more controlling after and not before excessive rates of weight gain
Maternal feeding practices appear to influence young children's eating behaviour but not weight status in the short term.
This observation suggests that interventions focused on
maternal feeding practices can have a beneficial effect on children's adiposity.
The aim of the present study was to examine the extent to which
maternal feeding practices prospectively predict the development of eating behaviour and BMI in pre-school-aged children.
Hierarchical multiple regressions were used to test whether
maternal feeding practices could predict changes in child eating behaviours over time.
The secondary aim was to establish whether
maternal feeding practices or child eating behaviours would predict child BMIz one year later, after controlling for initial BMIz.
Correlation analyses were used to measure stability of
maternal feeding practices and child eating behaviours across the two time points.

Although in this study information on breastfeeding

maternal recall at 9 months, breastfeeding figures are in agreement with data collected prospectively in the UK Infant
Feeding Survey conducted in 2000.32 Likewise, the validity of

maternal intention to breastfeed at antenatal booking, a factor shown to be important in previous studies34 as this information was not collected in the survey.

During a time of abundant research surrounding the long term implications of
feeding practices in the neonatal period on
maternal and child health, it is of utmost importance that healthcare professionals are guided by the best available evidence regarding infant
feeding while caring for breastfeeding dyads.
These include variability in the duration of breast -
feeding, frequency of breast -
feeding, use of supplemental formulas, recall of
feeding practices, type of allergic disease being studied, and
maternal atopic background.
As mentioned earlier, these factors include the frequency of breast -
feeding (including whether infants were exclusively breast -
fed), the recall of
feeding practices in retrospective studies, reverse causation (ie, atopic mothers having different breast -
feeding practices than nonatopic mothers), and the
maternal atopic background.
Studies examining the role of breast -
feeding in the development of allergic disease in infants have failed to demonstrate the protective effect of breast milk because of the heterogeneity in study methods (including breast -
feeding frequency, recall of
feeding practices, and
maternal atopic background).

We describe here how the western dismantling of three fundamental evolved

The relevant questionnaires are «Your Pregnancy» (administered at 32 wk gestation), on

Previous research also suggests that there are differences in

Based on prior empirical and theoretical work, this study investigated the following hypotheses: (1)
maternal exposure to IPV will be associated with higher odds of obesity at age 5 years in their children; (2)
maternal exposure to IPV will be associated with
feeding practices and behaviors that elevate risk for childhood obesity; and (3)
maternal perception of lower neighborhood safety will increase the effect of IPV on childhood obesity risk.
Unexpectedly,
maternal BE also predicted higher child BMI percentile indirectly through Distress responses, independently of Balance / Variety, Pressure to Eat, and Emotion Regulation
feeding practices.
Maternal BE predicted use of more nonresponsive
feeding practices (e.g. Emotion Regulation, Restriction for Health, Pressure to Eat, and Food as Reward), indirectly through more Distress responses to children's negative emotions.
Using bias - corrected bootstrapping procedures, we tested the hypothesis that longitudinal associations between
maternal BE and nonresponsive parent
feeding practices would be mediated by parents» unsupportive responses to children's negative emotion.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether
maternal emotion responses mediate the association between
maternal binge eating (BE) and child
feeding practices, in order to identify potential risk factors for
feeding practices that influence child weight.
We also tested a serial mediation model positing that
maternal BE predicts child body mass index (BMI) percentile change 18 - 24 months later, indirectly through unsupportive responses to negative emotion and nonresponsive
feeding practices.
It was the first study to identify multiple profiles of
